I was beyond excited when Lindsay contacted me to do some special portraits of her beautiful daughters!  After all, I was thrilled to work with them last fall and the previous year with their tremendously fun family.  I love smiling, happy families, and this one is definitely one of them!  As I was saying, Lindsay asked me to capture these two sisters to celebrate their birthdays.  Avery is now 5 years old, and her younger sis, Piper, is two.  Avery is enthusiastic, energetic, and loves to have fun.   Piper is pensive, curious, and loves to explore her surroundings.  They are both sweet, adorable, and know how to work it out for the camera!  I just love seeing how they’ve grown since our last session, and I am incredibly excited to share the following images from their session (check out their Sneak Peek too!).  Lindsay asked for something fun and creative, and I’ve been wanting to do this more stylized, vintage, dress-up theme for quite some time, and she loved the idea.  So, we made it happen!  Without further adieu, please welcome Avery and Piper!

Avery and Piper, I hope you had a fun time, I know I did!  And I learned a few things, like the Statue of Liberty pose and some other tricks. 😉  You are both so sweet and so beautiful, and I hope you both had fantastically Happy Birthdays!  See you soon!

I’ve been so excited to share some images from a recent portrait session for these two adorable sisters!  Avery and Piper, you are so beautiful and tons of fun! 

I’m so happy to introduce another sweet newborn on my blog! You may recall Kristen and Nick’s maternity session from a few months ago. (And feel free to take a peek at images from their rehearsal dinner and wedding as well.) These new, proud parents and their family have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of this adorable baby boy…so please allow me to officially introduce Colin Robert! (If you missed Colin’s Sneak Peek, click here!) I also asked Colin’s parents some questions about how their lives have changed since his arrival.

Arrival: February 3, 2010, 12:17pm, 7 pounds 14 ounces…
and 21.5 inches!

stewart imagery: What do you always want to remember from the day that Colin was born?

Nick + Kristen: The unexpected pure joy of becoming a family and realizing that our son was just born!

Colin was wide-awake and curious as to what was going on
for the first half of his session. Look at those eyes!

stewart imagery: Share a funny story about your first few days at home with Colin!

Nick + Kristen: Colin’s first ‘cold-air’ pee! Watch out!

Nick + Kristen: The sleeplessness is temporary, the joy of being a parent lasts forever.

Nick + Kristen: Colin resembles Colin. He is his own little person. He does have his dad’s long, lanky arms and legs. And he has his grandpa’s (1) dimple. Whether he has his mom’s red hair is yet to be determined!

Nick + Kristen: Exciting. Fun. Overwhelming. Knowing that we get to raise our son. And love him. And care for him.

So precious! Another favorite!

Nick + Kristen: There are things in life so much bigger and more important than you ever thought possible.

“A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller,
home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for.”

Nick and Kristen, thank you so much for the honor of capturing this exciting time in your lives! Colin is absolutely perfect! I cannot wait to watch him grow up! See you soon!

Here’s a Sneak Peek of my recent newborn session with Colin Robert! Isn’t he precious?

More to come soon!

Just a year ago, a little girl was born to two people in love, who instantly fell head over heels in love with her, their sweet Mason. I’ve had the joy and honor of capturing this little beauty when she was a newborn, and every milestone since. And I must admit I am smitten with her too! She recently celebrated her 1st birthday, and continually charms me and those around her with her cuteness. Happy Birthday, Mason!

Every little girl should wear a tutu for her birthday, right?
Favorite!

Workin’ it…givin’ me some attitude! Love it!

Another favorite! She claps when you say “Good job!”

Ok, this is another favorite of mine.

At her birthday party, she had her very own little pink cake. She had pink frosting all over…in her hair, behind her ears, on her nose, it was totally cute, totally 1st birthday style!
Mason, I’m saving the rest of those photos to show at your wedding! 😉

Mason, you are just adorable!
Thank you so much for letting me capture your 1st year, I can’t wait to watch you grow!
Your parents are so proud of you, and it’s easy to see why. See you soon!
